Ask your italk therapist to pass your details on to the Employment Advisors. We will then contact you to discuss the support we may be able to offer.

Problems at work?

Numerous studies have shown that being in work generally leads to better mental health, self-esteem and well-being. However, problems at work such as poor relationships with management and workload, can also have a negative effect on our mental health.

Sometimes things outside of work can affect how we feel and our concentration, and this in turn can cause difficulties at work.
